Not again! Vouchers coming back to Texas Legislature

Filed by Rep Frank Corte, San Antonio:

House Bill 12 (HB12)
relating to creation of a public education voucher<0> pilot program
for certain children.

go here: http://www.capitol.state.tx.us/cgi-bin/cqcgi and search on keywords. In this case search on voucher. Also try marriage for the ban on gay marriages.

Neither one of these issues. Their goal is to destroy the public school system by siphoning money out of it, under the guise of supporting better education and religious education. That's where you will get a lot of minority support.

Also let's make sure to identify Frank Corte as a repuke by the way, from San Antonio. And we all know that James Lenninger (the right-wing godfather of voucher support) hails from S.A.

Ban on gay marriage, sure why not. They saw it pass in 11 other states so you can bet they're gonna put it on their plate for a constitutional amendment. They'll even wait until '06 to make sure the evangelicals come out in full force to help their selection for Governor. Count on it.

would call a "strategic initiative."

This issue is not really about "education." Vouchers are all about framing the issue of "education" in order to destroy public education.

That's the meaning of "strategic initiative." It means promoting one thing in order to produce exact opposite.

"Strategic Initiatives" are the methods the fascists have deployed to destroy this country.
